Today I’m participating in the WordPress weekly photo challenge and this week’s theme is “from lines to patterns”. You can click on the photos below for a larger view. If you like what you see, feel free to subscribe and receive nature photography updates a few times a week.
I love the color patterns created by the lines on this monarch caterpillar.
Take a look at the intricate lines and patterns that make up the wings of a dragonfly. No wonder this is the fastest flying insect in the world.
The leaves of the bloodleaf plant (Iresine herbstii) display some beautiful lines all across.
I love the beautiful patterns and lines on the wood duck.
Waves create lines and patterns, even if it’s just the small ripples of a lake.
Dandelions in seeds displays a lot of lines sorted by clusters.
I chose the lines of the paper kite butterfly (Idea Leuconoe) for last. I hope you enjoy them!

I love the caterpillar and butterfly ones! The caterpillar is so vibrant, he almost looks like a cartoon.
There’s something about caterpillars that makes them looks a bit rubbery (except for the fuzzy ones). It’s amazing how different they look from the final butterfly colors.
The caterpillar is fantastic. 🙂
Thank you! You wouldn’t believe how hard they were to spot in that huge milkweed plant!
What a great selection to highlight that theme. Love the caterpillar!
Thank you! That caterpillar looks like a favorite so far. I can see why since it has both lines and patterns.
Very cool selections! Beautiful post!
Thank you very much! It was a fun photo challenge.
Beautiful photos, all of them are great choices for this challenge.
The dragonfly is awesome!

Well, thank you for rooting for the dragonfly and not the caterpillar like everyone else! I really like dragonflies but they’re quite a challenge to photograph since they barely sit still.
I love them all but the caterpillar is definitely a fave! Just amazing!
Haha, I can’t believe how many people seem to like that monarch caterpillar. It sure has very cool patterns, and lines.
Lovely selection of photos! Nature is definitely full of patterns and the little caterpillar is a fabulous example.
Thank you! That caterpillar is quite popular in the comments!
Gorgeous images of pattern! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! It was a fun photo challenge.
You do put a lovely collection together, Milka 🙂
Thank you, it was a fun photo theme to work with.
Each one takes us to a happy, peaceful, even carefree childhood place in our hearts and memory. I used to chase orange dragonflies as a kid at a rice field next to my parent’s house. Now it’s a concrete building. Miss those simple times. Best wishes to you and your family.
Wow, it’s amazing how things change over time. I hope your son has an opportunity to chase dragonflies where you live once in a while.
colorful. great clicks
